Summer Program Scholarships

Through the generosity of many donors, The Clearing is pleased to be able to offer scholarship assistance in Summer Program classes! Scholarships are intended to make The Clearing’s educational programs available to a broad population of students. Clearing scholarship funds are invested as endowments, providing a permanent source of scholarship support.

Scholarship Information:

Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and/or other criteria, depending on the source of the funds. To apply for a scholarship, please complete and submit the Scholarship Application Form. If you have any questions regarding Clearing scholarships, please contact Mike Schneider at mike@theclearing.org.

Scholarship Notes:
Most scholarships provide partial coverage for tuition, housing (dormitory room) and meals. Additional materials fees and/or shop fees are the responsibility of the student.

Recipients are eligible to receive one scholarship within a 24 month period.

Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis and at the discretion of the scholarship committee.
